HMS Victory by Y.T.- Mamoli - 1:90 scale

[Peter Gutterman]

Thanks, Peter. This is also due to you. You provided me with excellent wood to make the rigging blocks. Without your help the model would stay at the hull level.

My privilege to be of use in the progress of this exceptional model.

Do these look enough convincing? These are top mast shrouds called I think. I can’t continue the work till feel good about it.

May I ask did you use wire for your hooks and if so, what size/gauge? Did you make a jig of some sort for forming them?

 

[Y.T.]

When making hooks I use copper wire of various gauges. Purchase them on Amazon. For forming I just use round nose pliers. I purchased smallest jaw diameter pliers available and reduced the jaws even further.
